TFW2005 has shared an exciting report today, revealing that Wal-Mart will be carrying a series of "Vintage" Beast Wars figures! Previously the "Vintage" line was reserved as a title for the G1 reissues put out in G1 styled packaging at Wal-Mart as exclusive items. If this line follows suit, could we be looking at re-releases of original Beast Wars figures in "vintage" Beast Wars packaging?
In a surprise afternoon reveal, Hasbro has opened up orders for a surprise Transmutate figure! Based on the character who appeared in the Beast Wars episode "Transmutate", the character made a huge impression on fans over the years even though she only appeared in one episode of the television show. This figure is a retool and redeco of Paleotrex featuring a new head and a deco based on her colors from the TV show, this is definitely one of the most unusual releases in Selects to date!
Twenty five years ago "Beast Wars Transformers" came onto the scene and changed the "Transformers" world forever. Now IDW celebrates this milestone with a new "Beast Wars" comic book. Check out my review of the first issue!

Around the time The Last Knight was preparing to roar into theaters, Paramount commissioned a "writer's room" to put together ideas for potential live action Transformers films to continue the successful franchise. One of the concepts that came out of that room was a Beast Wars themed movie that was never produced. Thanks to artist Rob Wiggins however, we now have a look at a bit of what might have been via renders of concept art for a big screen Cheetor!
The folks over at The Allspark have posted a major find for fans of Transformers history and unproduced figures. In partnership with Robotic Planet Toys on Instagram they have posted gorgeous scans from a McDonalds concept binder from 1995!
